Smart money for True growth in West Volusia will come from Orange City and Deltona - the largest city in Volusia County. When the development starts near Epic Theater, DeLand is toast. DeLand will continue their backwards way and try and force the taxpayers to pay for their downtown non-profits and for pet projects from Stetson but all that does is create more handouts for self centered egomaniacs. If you want to have a good time and have a variety of things to do, DeLand does not come to mind. Do it once and you've unfortunately done it.
